der8auer Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 RAPTOR3 is the result of over a half year of testing, optimization and development in cooperation with German engineers. We completely revised the structure to create the best GPU pot available. Thin arms allow a very fast cool-down while the structure in the middle reduces temperature ups and downs for the best temperature control. Additional slots at the bottom of the pot dispense the LN2 to all four chambers and reduce the bubbling significantly. A black anodized aluminium plate at the bottom in combination with the nickle-plated copper perfects the design. The new stainless steel mounting system will give you the maximum contact pressure and using the stainless steel backplate you don't risk to damage your GPU by bending the PCB. And to protect my work: Patent pending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

der8auer Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) 12 mm so it's directly at the corner of the high end GPUs like GTX680 and 7970 but not underneath because this would have a negative effect on the heat transfer. edit: Thanks for your comments, guys Edited December 15, 2012 by der8auer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

der8auer Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well German engineering is expensive but very good If you have a pot like that you won't need any other in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBR Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Looks fantastic, but price is in one word: Brutal, sorry but this no one buys at that price and patented? for what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I already sold 5 within 2 days so this is not true This pot is taking a very long time to manufacture that's why there is such a high price. Also I'm putting a lot of work into my pots and I'm not willing to gift them away. You buy such a high quality product once and can use it for many years where as you buy 10 x CPUs for binning every year. That doesn't make sense Of course you can also buy a cheaper pot which only contains a 4-holes structure. The choice is yours. If you want quality - you have to pay for it. The design is patented for a very simple reason. Here in Germany everybody could patent this design. Means you could use my pictures to get a patent and say it would be your product. The result is that I would not be allowed to sell my own products anymore. Therefore I need a patent to protect myself. edit: I will also offer cheaper pots in future. Still this will stay the absolute high-end-product Edited December 16, 2012 by der8auer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurek Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Wouldn't that pot be cheaper without that gravings on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 @ Xtreme Addict: Thanks a lot @ jurek: That would lower the price by like 3 EUR The deep, 10mm wide structure is the biggest problem here. If you create a simple pot with 4 holes it will take 2 minutes to drill them and you're done. This structure takes about 25 minutes on a expensive machine. Also the aluminium bottom part is expensive for such a small thing because it's laser-cut, machined to get a perfect surrounding and brushed for a good look. Afterwards a black anodizing.

SoF Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) after seeing it on the 2nd RoG Camp I must say - wooozaaa what a nice piece It literally "eats" some previous coolers in size and cooling-capacity Edited January 18, 2013 by SoF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
